Yes Pengy we were sure we could chase those hares into the nets like rabbits, but no way. They all turned up every night for the fun though but I guess that was because they are very territorial.

Talking of chasing hares, I remember Hood Aerodrome, an old Matchless and. 12 gauge doing the trick, half fonged at 1 in the morning, after a good party at the aero club.

With the dawn arriving and the darkness slowly giving way to light, the Cesna's and Tiger Moths ghostly appeared, resembling just returned shot up B 17's from a daylight bombing raid on the Schweinfurt ball bearing factories?

Saw that Nor-west. I wonder what the Muzzle velocity was like. Around 2700 fps I would think. Anyone have any idea. I was using 90gr Speer hotcores at that time
